That's why there's a seal there, there's oil floating about in the gearshaft

If it wasn't leaking past the pushrod before you pulled it out the seal is ok.

You should be able to pull the seal out by screwing a couple of self-tappers into it 180 deg apart and then pulling with pliers.

To fit the new one find a socket the same size or just smaller than it's od. Grease/WD the rim of the new seal and push it in, tap it home squarely with the socket. It's a dead fit obviously but you may get it to shrink down slightly by popping it in the freezer the night before fitting it.

legend! sorry for being a twit :oops:

my bandit never used to leak when i pulled out the push rod, so that was new to me! in that case i will keep the new one just in case.... the pushrod doesnt leak when the rod is in place so am i right in thinking its ok? :oops:

When you took the push-rod out of your Bandit, was it on the centre-stand?

It's fine

thanks for your help mate

There's two, and one is different depending on year/clutch type ....

'R' model (diaphragm clutch)

#24 - 23110-27A00 CLUTCH PUSH ROD £13.51

#25 - 23111-24A01 CLUTCH PUSH ROD £8.87

'S', 'T', 'V' model (multi spring type)

#21 - 23110-27A00 CLUTCH PUSH ROD £13.51

#22 - 23111-30001 CLUTCH PUSH ROD £7.46

I don't know what the difference is between the two outer rods

where did you get your price from mate ? i tried the number on robinsons and it said no part recognised ! :cry:

as for the difference i think i'll try the early one as i'm riding an N reg bike that is slowly trying to bankrupt me piece by piece and the early one is cheaper

[as long as its the right one] !
cheers .John

I popped the numbers into Robinson's parts finder no problem :shock:

Can't find a spec for the pushrods so I csn't help with dimensions. I've got a couple of the inner ones (mushroomed ends) but haven't spotted and outer one.

just tried robinsons again and guess what........... the number worked :oops:

must realize copy and paste works better than trying to remember things :oops:

thanks f.f
